Louisiana DOTD has a mobile-home specific single-trip permit path for oversize mobile homes that are not overweight. That permit is issued per trip and is active for a limited period, so the home, route and schedule need to be coordinated before dispatch. If the transport is overweight or otherwise outside that category, different permit treatment can apply.
DOTD lists a mobile home/mobile office single-trip permit for qualifying oversize moves.
The mobile-home permit is active for a limited number of days and is not open-ended.
The published mobile-home category is specifically described for oversize homes that are not overweight.
Louisiana has a mobile-home specific permit category
| Qualifying move | DOTD lists individual mobile homes that are oversize but not overweight under the mobile-home/mobile-office trip category. |
|---|---|
| Trip basis | The permit is issued for a single trip rather than indefinite movement. |
| Validity | The published permit is active for a limited three-day window. |
| Outside the category | An overweight or otherwise exceptional move should be evaluated under the applicable DOTD permit rules rather than forced into the mobile-home category. |

Permit class and route questions to resolve in Louisiana
Louisiana's mobile-home single-trip permit has a limited active window. If the property or crew is not ready, an otherwise valid permit can become unusable before the home moves.
Do not assume the mobile-home oversize-only trip category is enough. DOTD describes that category for oversize homes that are not overweight, so the transport must be matched to the correct permit type.
Ask the mover to distinguish transport, permit handling, escort costs, pickup preparation and destination work. This makes two proposals comparable even when the companies package services differently.
Because Louisiana's published mobile-home single-trip category is specifically described for oversize mobile homes that are not overweight. A move outside that description can require different permit handling.
